360 Quietly Launches 'Beiguo,' a Paid AI Lesson-Prep Tool for Teachers

Duozhi observed that 360 has quietly launched an AI lesson-preparation product called 'Beiguo,' aimed at K12 primary and secondary school teachers and offering lesson prep, question generation and courseware creation. The homepage features five tools: AI courseware, AI test-paper generation, AI lesson plans, AI animated teaching and AI essay prep, with sub-functions such as guided-learning-plan generation, classroom verbatim scripts and structured blackboard notes. Beiguo charges from launch, at 19.9 yuan per month on continuous subscription or 198 yuan per year, with membership covering AI-generated courseware, educational documents and simulated test papers.

Beiguo pushes an AI lesson-prep tool directly to individual teachers with immediate charging, offering a new real-world sample for observing teachers' willingness to pay for AI tools and showing 360 extending its education efforts from hardware and security solutions to daily teaching tools. The scale and copyright compliance of its premium document resources, and whether school-based resources can become a school-side entry point, are key variables for the product's sustainability. Teachers can use integrated AI tools for lesson prep, test generation and courseware creation, but must pay 19.9 yuan per month on continuous subscription or 198 yuan per year. 360 enters the teacher-tool market with a subscription model, providing a reference for pricing and customer acquisition in similar AI education products.
